Still people who care

The editor:

It is so wonderful that there are honest people here in Morehead especially at Christmas time.

My wife and I went to Wal-Mart and bought our 14-year-old daughter a new cell phone for Christmas and what really makes this so special is that I had just recently lost my job, but we were determined to get this for her.

So we went and got it and paid for it and they activated the phone and put it back in the box with the receipt so we could give it to her for Christmas and also bought other items while we where there.

Later that night this really nice lady called the house from Wal-Mart and asked me if I had been there and bought a cell phone and I said yes and then she said, do you know where the phone is? And by the way she said that I just knew what she was going to say. We had left the phone in the bag and I guess in the buggy as we loaded up our other stuff and headed home.

Who ever found this phone could have easily used it for themselves but choose to turn it into the lost and found and that's when the nice lady from Wal-Mart called us. So we went the next day to get the phone and everything was still just the way we had it, receipt and all.

We do not know who the person was that found it but would like to THANK YOU VERY MUCH for turning the phone in. This just goes to show you that some people still care in Rowan County. Once again thank you who ever you are and Wal-Mart for getting the phone back to us. Merry Christmas!

  • KMA takes issue with editorial on ‘pill mill’ lobbying

    A recent editorial in this paper took issue with the Kentucky Medical Association (KMA) for its stand on recent legislation regarding prescription drug abuse. Unfortunately, the talking points adopted in Frankfort were echoed in the editorial in an attempt to attack KMA without really addressing the facts of the legislation.

  • The U.S Postal Service, another perspective

    Having been an employee of the Postal Service for 40 years and serving in the Washington, D.C area for a decade there is another side of the USPS story. Every article in our Constitution states a right to all citizens. Article I Section 8 speaks to the governments’ role in society by providing a public service for the good of all the people by establishing the Post Office Department, which was never designed to make a profit.

  • Consider needs of voters To vote or not to vote, that is the question. Our rights are slowly, maybe quickly, taken from us. Our leaders, elected officials and special groups are again telling us what to do. These people are elected to their high-paying, high-profile and controllable offices to represent us the people.

  • Please report suspected child abuse

    Kentucky has already seen the destructive power of nature as storms and tornadoes have hit several communities across the Commonwealth this spring. There have been lives lost, whole communities devastated and families uprooted from their homes. There’s another storm raging across Kentucky that can prove just as fatal and just as damaging. Child abuse and neglect hits thousands of homes in Kentucky every year.
